Every high school has at least one female Goth student, but
apparently these girls are not born with the Goth mindset. In fact, Yamato
offers a great explanation for the appearance of a Goth persona: all it takes
is for a guy to tell a nice girl (who probably happens to like him) that she is
ugly, and oh by the way, he wants nothing to do with her. This negative
response from the guy will consequently send the girl into a downward spiral of
introversion, obsession with mannequins, skulls, horror films, and all things
dark.
The above events underscore Sunako’s transformation from... See full review

I think I started to watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya about three or four times, got
into the first five minutes of the first episode, and thought to myself how the
premise seemed really lame and was generally poorly presented; I also wondered
why my brother was so ecstatic when he told me to watch The Melancholy of Haruhi. When I finally forced myself to watch through
the end of the first episode, I realized I was going to be in for a humorous
and off-the-wall experience to say the least. (In hindsight, if you pay close
attention to the opening of the first episode, it is amazingly... See full review

Mushi,
as pointed out by the main character Ginko, have a distinct dynamic with
humans: “there are those who fear them and those who like them.” Also, I should
add, there are those who can’t see mushi at all – this leads to the question: which is worse, being
able to see something that could potentially harm you, or being completely
oblivious to what is quite possibly some of the craziest stuff happening in
nature?
Mushishi’s
story is entirely episodic in nature, as it follows the travels of Ginko as he
moves from place to place to avoid... See full review

Honestly, I felt a bit like Towelie as I watched Blame! (man I have no idea what’s goin’
on.) Seriously though, at first I got worried that the lack of story had
something to do with me – maybe I just missed something; I mean, it was kind of
late when I watched this series. The truth is, Blame! seems to choose some buzzwords (e.g. megastructure,) and
string them together, so that we can all pretend that a plot exists. Unlike other cyberpunk anime which sometimes
leave gaps early on and fill them in periodically throughout the series, Blame! leaves its gaps wide open... See full review

The year is 2030 AD, and the available technology is enough
to make me think that it is pretty likely that a non-oil alternate energy
source must have been discovered prior to 2030, although that is pure speculation.
Watching SAC made me realize that I
should not bother with lasik eye surgery, and just find myself a pair of those
sweet prosthetic eyes (Yes! I can finally return to 20/20 vision, with a
guidance system and some other features to boot.) The futuristic setting surrounds an elite
group of law enforcement agents known as Section 9, headed by Motoko (a.k.a.
The Major)... See full review
